55really good place
55Great space for my dog to explore and play. We had a wonderful time there.
55Great lovely space! Very generous and cordial hosts.
55Our escape prone adventurer was safely contained and got to frolic to his hearts content! He had so much fun wading through the tall plants and having so much space to roam. We didn’t stay the full time this time because we didn’t come prepared for the mosquitoes. Next time will bring bug spray so we can spend a longer time in this beautiful spot. Thanks for having us!
55Beautiful SniffSpot!
55Beautiful place! Only reason why we didn’t stay the full hour is because my old man dog got a little hot (the weather was beautiful). Exactly as described in the post and so many little corners to explore. We’ll definitely be back!
55Super adorable space with lots of room for the pup to roam and explore, and very clear easy to follow directions to get into the garden!
45Great spot plenty of space for sniffing and exploring. Not a spot for fetch or a full bore run but, fabulous even so.
35Nice, huge yard for dogs to enjoy Lots of hills to climb and grass to snuffle through. Host was quite friendly, even offered to let us stay longer if we wanted. Unfortunately for me and my reactive dog, there were 2 big, very excited dogs in the yard nextdoor who were clawing at the chain link fence and barking up a storm trying to get at my dog (ie, being dogs). Not a great situation for us. The host said this is rare, but others have commented on it. That said, if the timing works out and/or it's not an issue with your dog, it's a great spot.
55Very kind host and beautiful area.

Location

Oakland, California

Description

A lot of vegetation and places to sit down, meditate, read a book, study, or have a picnic. Your pup will love to play in our one-acre garden. Picking fruit or vegetable etc. is off the limit. Drinking water for animals is provided in various containers throughout the property. Please do not turn on or use any water equipment on our property - we had some serious problems in the past because of this. Please clean up after your dog’s “business”, smile. That’s a mandatory request. Waste bags are provided in a plastic box with other dog’s supplies) and a BROWN garbage can is in the front of the house by the street for your convenience. Thank you! Woof woof! 🌸 Note: in the rainy season we might not change the water for dogs because it’s senseless, so please arrive always with your own supply of water and if it’s raining you might like to wear rain boots as well. Have fun!
